Rory's Ukulele

  LEVEL 1 = PEACE OF MIND is American Zen's first album of their 8-level spiritual journey
produced by Richard Del Connor on Shaolin Records.

AmZen_eNEWS February 2005
Official newsletter of American Zen

Ukulele Rock?

Yes, that’s a ukulele leading the band in the song, “Whose Heaven Is This?”

“It seemed too typical to use an electric guitar for a rebellious song,” explains Rory.
“Coyote suggested we use the ukulele to make the song less bitter and more comedic.
Did you know they never put guitar straps on ukuleles?”

DOWNLOAD the song, “Whose Heaven Is This?” from iTunes.

The LEVEL 1 section of the website includes
a special WEBPAGE STORYBOOK.
Coyote tells about his Catholic upbringing and acts of violence.

Lyrics of Life

A recent discussion with someone in Australia revealed a perspective of what Folk Rock is: Poetry.

Rather than saying my, "My baby left me...with cousin Fred...,"
but in a folk rock song you'd say, "love is a diamond...stolen from my dreams..."

Folk rock requires poetry. Not just lyrics, but poetic lyrics. Folk rock is rock poetry?

I hope you like it. It's rough, I know.

But everything we do from here on will be typeset in a computer, so this is a rare kind of book now...

Utah Phase 1 is about a religion in the 19th Century.

About Shaolin Records:

About American Zen:
American Zen is led by The Coyote who fronts the band on flute and acoustic guitar. Coyote is a renaissance man who writes all the music, lyrics, and poetry. Coyote abandoned his San Diego and Los Angeles bandmates to pursue a promise of success from a cute blonde girl from Utah in 1991. With promises and a heart broken, Coyote is stuck in Salt Lake City, Utah, teaching Yang Tai Chi and Shaolin Kung Fu to Mormons. The Mormons are intolerant of "gentiles" and "nonMormons," and especially long haired Buddhist Hippie Californians. The religious, personal, and business conflicts with the Mormons resulted in Coyote creating his own sect of Zen Buddhism, Shaolin Zen in 1994. The LEVEL 1 = PEACE OF MIND album cover was shot by Ed Animal for the L.A.Rock Review Magazine.
